FIG. 3.

Shown in this figure is a representative example of induction and recovery of brain and core arterial temperature during 10 minutes of high flow dry gas at a flow rate of 80 LPM. White arrows denote the time the airflow was turned on and the black arrows denote turning off of airflow. Rapid decline in brain temperature from baseline is noted immediately after airflow is turned on, which recovers promptly once the flow is off. A more gradual response is noted in the core arterial temperature during the same time. The results were reproducible as shown in the figure.
